Summary

Mexico’s cartel war has intensified, with over 1,000 dead or missing, disrupting life in Sinaloa and shattering the myth of the “good narco.”

Rival factions of the Sinaloa cartel, led by sons of imprisoned founders El Chapo and El Mayo, are waging a brutal conflict that disregards civilians.

The older generation’s perceived code of sparing innocents is gone, with forced recruitment and violence targeting ordinary people.

As propaganda efforts persist, locals express anger and despair, rejecting the notion of any “good narco” amid escalating bloodshed.

    Mexico has a gang culture that it needs to grow up from.

    Do NOT reward gang members.

    Do NOT accept them in to your social circles.

    And above all, DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH THEM!

    Once enough people do that, gang members will have no choice but to change.

    Don’t worry Mexico, Co-presidents Trump and Musk will send the Tier Oneest of Tier One operators to hulk smash those pesky Narcos for you and reunite Mexico with its ancestral homeland of Texas.

    Edit: spell check changed Copresident to Columbian.

    I heavily believe most “criminals” become violent because of the law.

    Somebody who calls you their enemy becomes your enemy too.

      I stongly believe most criminals become violent because they don’t care about the damage they cause others and only focus on what benefits themselves.
